Lens coming out and going back in when turned on

1. Turn the power off, eject the battery pack, and reinsert it into the camera.
2. Turn the power back on and check if the drive part of the lens moves properly.
3. If the lens still will not open, retract or extend, then reset the camera.

When I turn on sony cyber-shot camera I get a Problem with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W35 Digital Camera when I turn on sony cyber-shot camera I get a screen display that states "access". The lens keeps going in and out and then it states,"turn the power off and on again" What's wrong??

did it get damp or cold and moisture got in. Did anyone have access to it during the time it worked and didnt.

Lens of camera is bad and requires replacement that would cost more then camera worth. Best option is to buy another camera.

remove battery while lens is out. try reseting the cam usually near batt need paperclip to push reset. if the lens makes grinding noise lens assembly gears are done. flat rate from sony is usually close to 80% of what you paid for cam.

Get it serviced. U've prob. dropped it and the lens is no longer in allignment (retacting issues)

Your camera has problem in Lens mechanism. If Lens doesn't open properly, camera will not show picture at all. There would be Loading Motor section demaged in Lens mechanism and it needs to be replaced to work camera OK.
Now come to blue screen in playback mode, This model doesn't have internal memory, so you need memory stick/ card to see previously taken pictures.

mine camera did the same thing. i gave it to my techno neighbor guy and hours later he gave me my camera back and it was FULLY functional! he "hit it several times" thus jarring the lens back into place! (i could have gone w/o hearing that but, hey! it works!

Was your unit dropped, or maybe left with the lens protruding? Seems you have a problem with the lens assy(stucked), during start-up, it will initialize to check if all systems go, if not then it will display turn off and on again. thanks

Sounds like the lens can't get into the proper position. Any possibility of damage to the lens?
